What is Zero Trust?
Zero Trust is a modern security framework based on the principle: “Never trust, always verify.” Instead of assuming that anything inside your network is safe, Zero Trust continuously verifies every user, device, and application — whether inside or outside the corporate perimeter.
Why Enterprises Need Zero Trust ?
Evolving Threats: Traditional perimeter-based security is no longer enough against phishing, ransomware, and insider risks.
Remote & Hybrid Work: Employees, contractors, and partners now connect from anywhere, requiring secure access beyond office walls.
Regulatory Compliance: Saudi Arabia’s NCA ECC/CCC and global frameworks like NIST 800-207 recommend Zero Trust as a baseline model.
Digital Transformation: Cloud adoption, SaaS apps, and IoT require identity-based controls instead of static firewalls.
Core Principles of Zero Trust
Verify Explicitly – Authenticate and authorize every user, device, and workload.
Least Privilege Access – Grant only the minimum access needed to perform a task.
Assume Breach – Continuously monitor and log traffic to detect and contain threats early.
Micro-Segmentation – Divide networks into secure zones to limit lateral movement.
Strong Identity & Device Posture – Enforce MFA, endpoint compliance, and continuous risk evaluation.
Core Principles of Zero Trust
Identify Users & Assets – Map critical applications, devices, and data.
Enforce Identity Controls – Deploy MFA, SSO, and IAM with continuous monitoring.
Segment the Network – Apply micro-segmentation and context-based policies.
Monitor & Respond – Use SIEM, SOAR, and AI-driven analytics for real-time insights.
Adopt a Phased Approach – Start with high-risk areas, expand gradually across the enterprise.
